11084

After getting the futon wrapped and ready to go and waiting for the taxi to come, I ran across to pick up some doughnuts from Kamo Donuts, which we get whenever we are here...krueller sprinkles, chocolate nuts, chocolate and salted lemon.
After sending off our futons and other items, we went in search of lunch.

Nearby the takkyubin (home delivery) center, was Uosei.

I ordered the C set...udon, sushi and tempura bits for the udon...750 yen (tax included)

Satoshi had their udon set which came with udon, sushi and several small side dishes...1080 yen (tax included)

It was a bit too hot to eat hot udon, but it was nice to be out of the sun for a bit. 

And then Satoshi wanted to check out the Manga Museum, so we rode the bus and got off at Nijo Station.

Then walked across town.

Clamp Coffee Sarasa...I had this place bookmarked and look forward to checking it out next time.


We did stop at Cafe Tyrol...which I've had bookmarked for some time.

The curry smelled wonderful, but since we had already eaten...

we had ginger ale and cream (melon) soda floats instead ...680 yen (tax included) each.

I want to return here for breakfast or lunch!
The manga museum houses all sorts of Japanese manga.


We also prayed for prosperity at Mikane Shrine.
And found a shady spot under a wisteria tree near Avanti shopping mall to eat our donuts.

It was so blazing and humid and blah!

We walked a lot and also ate a lot too.

Mikane Shrine has been on my to-go list for awhile! Maybe I'll make it this Thanksgiving and
Also hope to check out some of the food places you go to on your Kyoto trips.
